Theater Flash Hits A Snag!
Bad news! I have ran into a problem with the method in which I was trying to import avatars into the movie. It seems that flash will let you load images form a URL but it will only let you animate BMP and JPG files loaded from a website. PNG files can only be loaded into a single position where they cannot be moved.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);
loadMovie("www.website.com/picture.jpg",holder);
This loads a picture form a webpage and puts it in a movie clip labled "holder." Then the picture can me animated by animating the movie clip. PNG files will not load this way.
loadMovie("www.website.com/picture.png",1)
This will load a PNG but will only load it into level1. That means the PNG file stays in the top left corner above all other animations and cant be moved or edited.
I bereave this has something to do with the fact that PNG files have transparent backgrounds. Seeing how our avatars are saved as PNG files on the server, in order to use them in the movie I will have to save them in the flash itself.
This means my original plan to enable the avatars to appear as they currently are on gaia, will not work.
